Chapter 101: Chapter 0101 White Tower (Seeking collection, recommendation!)

Green Tree Castle’s laboratory.
In the past, it used to be a transcendent academy.
Some ancient rules have been passed down within the Inner Circle, with little change even now.
The apprentice system is one of them.
Many members who join the Inner Circle need to choose a mentor.
With their mentor, they will truly embark on the transcendent path, and even receive many kinds of transcendent knowledge for free, without having to go to the White Tower to exchange.
Of course, Su Lu would not refuse.
Even Rod knew to learn from his seniors, so he didn’t mind taking another teacher.
Furthermore, this was also a form of alliance and taking sides: “So…l wonder if
I could ask the professor to be my mentor?”
William chuckled, “Due to talent issues, I can’t become an [Arcanist] and can only become a third-level [Mage]! In fact… Lord Vort once intended to take you as his apprentice, but the requirements of [Arcanist] are too high, and it conflicts with other magical professions… What a pity.”
The focus here is not on the [Mage], but on Lord Vort.
“What a pity indeed…”
As for the [Arcanist], Su Lu did have some covetousness, but hearing that there would be strong conflicts, and even affecting the great man’s intention to take on apprentices, he couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful.
“Our Electrical Research Institute doesn’t have many members in the Inner Circle, I’ll bring the information to you later. What you should pay attention to is the first lecture, which is very important. According to customary rules, it will be taken as your intention to join the mentor.”
As a reminder from William who had Su Lu’s interests at heart, he promptly took Su Lu to the dormitory, and then turned around and left.
He was also a member of the Inner Circle, leading a research team in the Outer Circle, and was very busy every day.
If it wasn’t Su Lu’s first visit, he might not have been playing the role of a guide.
“Professor William, take care!”
Su Lu politely accompanied him to the door, watching as he left.
Coming back to his senses, he then turned his gaze to his own dormitory.
The rules here are similar to the Outer Circle, with a bedroom, a living room, a bathroom, and a dedicated secret room for some extraordinary training.
“It seems that Professor William doesn’t really want to take me as an apprentice… Is it because the earlier background check makes him feel complicated?”
Su Lu stroked his chin, put down his luggage, and browsed around the Inner Circle.
This place was somewhat like a college, with a few open classes each week, and even more like a discussion in the form of an interest group.
As for the White Tower, it was the center, covered by strong and mysterious power for protection.
Prior to arriving at the White Tower, Su Lu was slightly excited and stepped through the main entrance.
Boom!
In the moment of entry, his inspiration immediately sensed a flicker on the badge on his chest, as if performing some kind of verification. Immediately, there was no resistance, allowing him to enter smoothly.
The first floor of the White Tower.
The space was vast, the light was bright, and bookshelves tall as mountains stood like hillocks, with specially constructed ladders for people to climb.
“History, Social Science, Geography, Language…”
Su Lu glanced over, finding that most were still at the ‘ordinary’ level, without much transcendent content, but the ‘forbidden books’ rarely seen outside, here could frequently catch one’s eye.
“The first floor of the White Tower is the public information area.”
Thinking of William’s introduction, Su Lu headed toward the marble spiral
Again without any obstruction, the second floor was slightly smaller in size, with fewer books.
But here, occasionally, some transcendent topics would emerge.
For example…
“A Brief History of Mysticism on the New Continent”, “Identifying and Handling Techniques for Thirty-Six Kinds of Herbs”, “A Common Extraordinary Creature” …
Su Lu looked at the names on the spines of the books, almost wishing he could just stay here permanently.
As his finger pads touched each book, suddenly, his expression froze:
[XP+I]
A little prompt appeared before his eyes.
Su Lu immediately looked at the book title: “Rogol’s Cookbook”? How is that possible?”
Ordinary books, even ones recording transcendent information, may not necessarily provide experience.
Only those that truly contain spirits, or are made of materials with some mysterious power, will provide experience.
The items that Su Lu had seen so far that provide experience were the Black Death Society’s “Festival of Death” and the obsidian pendant recording the profession information of [Wandering Mage].
The profession progress of the latter had been hanging in his attribute column ever since, but until now it had just barely broken through the halfway point. The more it progressed, the slower it seemed to become. “Unexpectedly… I’ve found another one here.”
As he tried to pull the book out, he felt a little resistance.
On the bookshelf, a light screen appeared: “To borrow ‘Rogol’s Cookbook’ requires 2 points, and it can’t be taken outside the White Tower!”
‘Does this high degree of automation mean that there is a smart brain, or a tower spirit, managing the entire White Tower and Mystic Lock in the Inner
Circle?’
Su Lu sighed.
It was clear that this kind of high-tech operation must involve the participation of mysterious power and couldn’t be widely adopted. Otherwise, the entire world would have changed a long time ago.
‘Even… perhaps the entire Federation only has this one.’
He looked at the two-leaf badge on his chest, kept moving his hand, and pulled out the book.
At the same time, it was noticeable that the number on the badge had changed right away, turning into 498.
With a touch of gloom, Su Lu opened the book and his eyes widened in surprise.
This really was a cookbook.
However, some of the cooking objects turned out to be transcendent creatures, or some peculiar plants, describing their characteristics and even their key aspects.
It was clear that the person who wrote this book was a high-rank occupational person, and moreover a foodie.
‘Just relying on these transcendent pieces of information in the book, the two points are indeed worth it… not to mention the experience!’
Su Lu rubbed the pages of the book delicately.
Unlike other books, this book was clearly the original, the pages made of a large amount of unknown paper spliced together, the handwriting on it very messy and filled with corrections.
Along with the reading, a bit of experience emerged.
‘Could it be… there’s a large amount of soul energy gathered in this book?’
Su Lu found a table and started seriously reading through.
At the same time, the experience points in front of him also leaped continuously.
In the end, it increased by a total of 100!
Returning the book to the shelf, Su Lu let out a satisfied sigh.
As he absorbed the experience, the tower spirit didn’t notice at all, and this place was the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle. Even within the first three floors, the books containing mysterious power might not be a small number.
There were enough opportunities for him to harvest a wave of experience points!
‘It’s really worth it to have gone through all the trouble to get in here, and besides, gaining experience through reading is much better than through fighting…’
Su Lu joyfully roamed about on the second floor, and found several more books of peculiar material. For the moment he didn’t borrow them, but remembered their names.
Unconsciously, he reached the furthest end.
A row of iron railings separated a bookshelf from the rest, lending it a solemn significance.
“The Training of Soldiers”, “How to Become a Spellcaster”, “Ring Spells Detailed Explanation of Ice Traps”… indeed, they weren’t simple transcendent information, but books that conveyed professional information and taught individuals how to acquire strength.”
The second floor of the White Tower was the limit for One Leaf members.
And here, they could come into contact with various transcendent professional information!
